Hello,
However, sendmail is a very steep and tall learning curve. I'm coming
from Debian (which no longer installes with 32 MB ram) so I'm used to
exim. I know that exim is GPL. I'm wondering if there are other
BSD-licensed MTAs.
I'm sure to stir up a firestorm of philosophical, license and ideological controversy,
but I run qmail on all of my mail servers, and it has been one of the most solid and
problem-free mail subsystems I've ever used.
My mail servers are all (Debian and Slackware) Linux though, only my firewalls are
OpenBSD. I've never personally installed qmail on OBSD, but it apparently can be done,
judging by web traffic:
http://www.google.com/search?q=qmail+openbsd&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Qmail is definitely not BSD-licensed, and this bothers some people. Qmail's license is
odd. You can redistribute only plain vanilla qmail source, any changes you make can only
be published as patches. This may offend some, and that's that. Nonetheless, I find mail
administration with qmail to be so much better than I'm willing to deal with it.
Thanks,
Doug.
